Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

My skin is very fragile & tears easily. The TP seems to be more "scratchy" & irritating... It also leaves lint pieces on my skin.

I don't know if the attachable seat has a dryer. I have a regular bidet and it does have a dryer. I don't use it. I still believe a bit of tp dries quicker. I don't think you can go totally paperless even with a bidet.

@k3lliott mine too!

@jkm54 I agree! But k3lliot has found washable wipes. @k3lliott could you let us know the name of the washable wipes you get from Amazon?

Yes, they are flannel coth baby wipes w/dispenser... they are called Famoply.

I just read comments from the lichen planus group and one or two ladies stressed diet is as a very important consideration for treating lichen planus. One claimed dramatic improvements after following diet that sounds like the SIBO diet, which is highly restrictive. I tried that diet a few years ago for SIBO and was hungry most of the time because 80% of the food I ate was prohibited. I spent hours every week on meal planning and shopping . Also lost 13 pounds in the first month that I didn't need to lose and still have sagging skin as a result. After a year I eventually began eating "normally" again. I am very curious if anyone who reads this has had noticeable improvements in her lichen sclerosus or planus by eliminating sugar, gluten , alcohol, etc, etc. ?

Does anyone know of a link between oral lichen planus and lymes disease. I had lymes disease 3 years ago and shortly after got oral lichen planus.

I use the blow dyer on the lowest setting. It really helps to thoroughly dry the area.

You do this after using the restroom?

Yes. You can wash the area with plan water then blow dry.
